Soundwaves is a social impact program created by Sonos to support youth music education around the world, helping young people in need to realise their potential through creativity and technology. United Borders is a fitting partner for the program, providing life-changing opportunities for at-risk young people to realise their ambitions via music education. Sonos’ deep roots in music and technology offers tangible benefits for a partnership that aims to support the next generation of artists and innovators. Nearly a year to date since losing the original bus, Soundwaves is enabling United Borders to continue delivering quality music education through studio production, music therapy workshops, well-being classes and mentoring, helping Finlayson to pursue ongoing efforts to support local young people and establish an extraordinary community programme.
